OK, I admit it. I like some Nestle products. I know I shouldn't. I am a pretty big chocolate snob. But I, like a lot of people, grew up with these candy bars. It's hard to get over that. I still enjoy the occasional KitKat bar. I'd like it even more if I were in Japan. There, Nestle Japan has come out with a new variety of the wafer bar, and they are just my style.
The new variety is called KitKat Lucky Little's. They are bite sized versions of the original and they are pink! Well,pink and white. Pink just happens to be my favorite color and I pretty much can get drawn in by anything that color. Apparently the color is meant to represent blooming cherry blossoms.
Not only are the snacks completely adorable, Nestle Japan has created a cute game to go with them. You just buy a bag of the candy (of course) and count how many pieces of each color you got. Then you go to their website, and have your fortune told based on those numbers.
Though I suppose this would be an ok snack for the super bowl, the pink and white coloring of the candies might not be the best fit. Maybe they'd be better for the next big holiday coming up. But I guess that point is moot if you're in the U.S. I want to go to Japan!

There was a product in the US called KitKat Bites made by Hershey's. They only came in the traditional chocolate version. They were discontinued last year due to poor sales.

Yeah these are great. They have a huge selection flavors for regular-sized Kit Kat bars that come out every season. This season's flavors are red apple, hazelnut, white-chocolate and sea salt, and white-chocolate sakura.
Actually I'm pretty sure the chocolates in the above post are sakura flavored as well. It's a salty-sweet. yum!!
